Praise for Another World Is Possible: ""Full of lessons for American activists on how to bring enhanced social welfare programs into reality, despite the odds."" —Kirkus Reviews ""It only takes a few months outside the country to realize that political culture in the U.S. is profoundly provincial; to see that the richest nation on Earth suffers from a debilitating lack of imagination. Natasha Hakimi Zapata relies on years of global experience to show U.S. Americans what they are missing. Often, U.S. political elites act as if other societies barely even exist; the sympathetic reporting in Another World is Possible makes them feel deeply real."" —Vincent Bevins, author of The Jakarta Method and If We Burn ""As Americans, it’s striking to live in the wealthiest society ever known and yet be surrounded by needless suffering and political demoralization. Natasha Hakimi Zapata reminds us that social-democratic solutions to the problems that plague our country have already have been put into place across the world. Clearheaded and optimistic, her book provides a rousing response to those who say the progressive left is out of ideas."" —Bhaskar Sunkara, founding editor of Jacobin, president of The Nation magazine, and author of The Socialist Manifesto ""Natasha Hakimi Zapata will lift your spirit with evidence that another world is not only possible but that it is already here—if we look and fight for it."" —Yanis Varoufakis, former finance minister of Greece and author of Technofeudalism
